Top 5 in correct order is difficult. Maybe:

1. Die Hard
2. Ghostbusters
3. The Truman Show
4. Groundhog Day
5. The Shining

Maybe.

Die Hard shouldn't count. It should be your favourite films after Die Hard, that's why it's not in my list, it should just be assumed.

The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament.

I didn't nominate Die Hard because I knew someone else would. 8-)

The secret forum game ended 24 hours after it started.

Still, nominations are done. Amazingly, of the 114 films nominated, exactly 32 were nominated more than once. With that in mind, the qualifying films are:

Lost in Translation
Howl's Moving Castle
Terminator 2
Heat
Pulp Fiction
The Thing
Goodfellas
No Country For Old Men
2001: A Space Odyssey
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Blade Runner
The Shawshank Redemption
Die Hard
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
The Terminator
Goldeneye
The Shining
Aliens
Toy Story
The Departed
The Avengers
Memento
Fight Club
Vertigo
Groundhog Day
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Back to the Future
The Godfather
12 Angry Men
Leon: The Professional
The Truman Show


I will randomise the films and post up the first two groups of four this evening. The poll will run for two days, and I'll post the next two after the first films have qualified. As I said in the original post, it'll be two to qualify from each group.

I think there's a really good mix of films in there, the obvious favourite is the most nominated film (Shawshank) but I think there'll be some really close polls, regardless of how the draw works. Well played guys! :wub:

That is an exceptionally good list. Only Avengers stands out as not belonging there. I love that film but it's in extraordinary company
